Thanks for the responses. To answer some of the questions. Tent - bringing a small backpackers 2man. Budget - past that along time ago. I am thinking I am done with the big expenses but will be upgrading as things wear out like tires, shocks etc. Fuel - just the factory tank with a...

What do you think? Too heavy? Ditch the dual sport moto? Too tall? Ground clearance enough? Build a front grill guard? 05 sprinter gvwr is 8550 This weighs in at 7900 loaded Front 2820 Rear 5080 Is the distribution okay? We have a week to sort it all out before we live in it full time. We...

I didn't get a chance to bid. He pulled it off early.

I just bought a 2002 zr2 in blue yesterday. I am curious if your fuel mileage improved with the manual hubs?

1995 Astro AWD Asking $3,500 102k Miles New General Tires, battery, plugs, wires, rotor, rotor cap, alternator, fuel pump, belt, runs excellent. Came from AZ and is now located in Spearfish South Dakota. I have owned it for over a year and put 25k miles on it. I think I am the second owner. It...

I am a big fan of the tall skinny tires for road/dirt/rock/sand. The tall skinny tires while aired down worked great in the dunes. I was very surprised how well I was able to keep up with the newer FJ40's with 11" wide MT's. I was climbing everything they climbed. Traction was never an issue...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I4WMucF08k Found out why the Transmission was overheating. The radiator was clogged with dirt. I sprayed it out and now its been running great again.

I have a 4" Trail Master Lift currently on my 2nd Gen with 33"s. It came with it from the PO and I think the lift retailed for $1400 at one time. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34633 I will eventually swap stock front parts back in to lower it down and only go with...

New body work done Worked it pretty hard over the weekend. I put 100+ miles of dirt and sand on it and put a nice dent in the front left fender. Adds character. The A/T FLUID TEMP light went on again, maybe its time to add another transmission fluid radiator.

Did you flush out the tranny or just replace fluids ? I pulled the pan off, drianed the fluids, checked the solinoids, cleaned the filter, and put new AT fuild back in. It seems to work fine now. I think maybe the filter was too plugged up or the fluid level wasnt perfect or some combo of the...

I can buy an entire used automatic for $300.

This is my biggest concern with the Auto. My question is if a gear goes out in the Automatic cant I just unplug the electronics and manually shift 1,2,D = 1,3,OD? I really like the auto. I think using the left foot brake while engaging the torque converter is a big luxury over slipping the...

Its what deactivates the light that I think is the problem. My sleeve was stuck connecting the axles but the light would still turn off when I put it in 2wd. Shifting to 2wd independently turns off the light. So I was cruising down the freeway with my front drive shaft spinning and didnt even...

Found a set of Aisin Hubs for $50. So now I have both ADD and Manual Hubs. I am going to keep the ADD b/c Its there and it works now. If it stops working then I will just plug the vacume lines and clamp the actuator in position. I dont think I will need the thicker axle, Im a light foot.
